Guest EXPAT Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 http://boxofficemojo.com/yearly/chart/?yr=2011&p=.htm This link is to the top movies of 2011 in box office receipts. It's not surprising that the last Harry Potter made the #1 position for the year. Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 http://boxofficemojo.com/yearly/chart/?view2=worldwide&yr=2011&p=.htm This link shows the top worldwide grosses for movies in 2011. And once again, Harry Potter rules the worldwide box office as well. I'm still in shock that the Pirates movie which was just awful generated more than a billion in global revenue. Quote
Guest lurkerspeaks Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 Surprising numbers.. I have only seen three out of the top 20 US grossing movies.. guess I need to get to the movies more... Quote
BiBottomBoy Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 I'm shocked at Hangover 2 being that high. It was awful and got awful reviews. Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 Surprising numbers.. I have only seen three out of the top 20 US grossing movies.. guess I need to get to the movies more... I've seen 54 of the top 100 top grossing US movies. OMG Quote
Members BigK Posted January 3, 2012 Members Posted January 3, 2012 I've seen 54 of the top 100 top grossing US movies. OMG I've seen 29 out of the top 100 grossing. 8 out of the top 20. Quote
Members RA1 Posted January 3, 2012 Members Posted January 3, 2012 The closest I came to seeing any of those was a touring production of The Lion King 3-4 years ago. However, I would, under the right circumstance, go to a few, maybe 5 but I currently have no firm plans to do so. Best regards, RA1 Quote
Members lookin Posted January 3, 2012 Members Posted January 3, 2012 Surprising numbers.. I have only seen three out of the top 20 US grossing movies.. guess I need to get to the movies more... Three here also: #1, #54, and #87. Somehow, this year's movies weren't quite pulling me in as they did last year and the year before. Wouldn't have seen J. Edgar, had it not been for the discussion on this site. I'm very glad I did, as it provided some good context for Hoover's life, and gave me another opportunity to appreciate Armie Hammer's talents.

TotallyOz Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 Surprising numbers.. I have only seen three out of the top 20 US grossing movies.. guess I need to get to the movies more... LOL I win! I have seen 19 of the top 20. Sad isn't it? Quote
TotallyOz Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 I've seen 54 of the top 100 top grossing US movies. OMG OMG Me: 83 of the top 100. Again, sad! But, I am a movie buff! Quote
Members MsGuy Posted January 3, 2012 Members Posted January 3, 2012 LOL I win! I have seen 19 of the top 20. Sad isn't it? Sad? Depends on how many of those you viewed from the famed back row seats of Bangkok theaters... And with whom, OZ, and with whom. Quote
BiBottomBoy Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 I just wish I hadn't seen Hangover 2. That's 90 minutes of my life that I will never get back. Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 I just wish I hadn't seen Hangover 2. That's 90 minutes of my life that I will never get back. That's one I avoided because I regretted seeing the first one. I regretted seeing Bridesmaids too. That was just awful IMO. Midnight in Paris was one of my favorites of 2011. Quote
TotallyOz Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Sad? Depends on how many of those you viewed from the famed back row seats of Bangkok theaters... And with whom, OZ, and with whom. hehe. The BF and I saw one to two movies every week when I am with him in Thailand. We both love movies. But, as he is Thai, I go see many Thai movies with him. To date, I have yet to understand one comedy from Thailand. but, the action movies are usually pretty good. As are the BJ's when he gives them if the movie gets boring. I just wish I hadn't seen Hangover 2. That's 90 minutes of my life that I will never get back. LOL I liked Hangover 2. I know it was the same as the first one. I know it was stupid. But, it was fun mindless entertainment. Plus, I love the scenes from Thailand. Quote
